 * The Promise Party**

**War In Iraq** The Promise Party Opposes the war in Iraq. 2.5 or more people die everyday in Iraq. The war has spawned more terrorists and a deeper hatred of the united states. The war has caused the U.S more dept, so far there has been 9.71 trillion dollars spent and about another 30 billion more for the surge



**Economic Plan to increase Jobs in America** The Promise Party wants to stop machine job replacements in the American work force. Machine jobs gives less jobs in factories and is moving its way to replacing positions as clerks in jobs such as Wal-Mart. 800 million human beings jobs are currently employed, some of these jobs are at risk for replacement by machines. In some cases machines have replaces 20-100 workers in a job field and can cost the same as one worker per year but these machines can work a on a 24/7 basis and work at a faster pace that puts them ahead of manual workers.

**Stem Cell Research** The Promise Party believes that this research should be approved to advance the medical work field but there will be limits placed on the funding for the research. 68% of Americans support embryonic stem cell research. Stem Cell research can lead to treatments that save millions of lives and improve the quality of life for millions more. 640 million dollars are funded yearly for stem cell research

**Gay Rights for Insurance and marriage.** Gay Rights for marriage is and issue that The Promise Party strongly feels should be allowed in America. The total number of gay couples is 601,209. Most of the couples are better educated than average newlywed couples, with more than 74% over the age of 35 with 69% holding a college degree. 82% of Americans believe that allowing Gay marriage to be legal has either a positive impact or no impact at all to the society. When San Francisco legalized gay marriage 4,037 marriage licenses were issued and 3,995 gay couples were married in the several months before the state intervened and voided the marriages. And 57% of those marriages were lesbians.

**Education System** The Promise Party will change the current education system, we believe that No Child Left Behind is not the success it was planned to be. NCLB received a 40.4% increase from $17.4 billion in 2001 to a $24.4 billion. The funding for reading quadrupled from $283 million in 2001 to $1.2 billion. There is a 50% Failure rate for NCLB. This also means a 50% success rate, but shows a dead lock on debate that NCLB is an improvement to schools education or not.

**Environmental Protection and Regulations** The Promise Party feels that we are taking good actions already to protect the environment. Federal government has issued voluntary and incentive based programs to reduce the emissions and has established programs to promote climate technology and science. There are already 26 laws and regulations enforced the environment protection, covering a wide range of environment issues and plans. Government has issued a Superfund clean up to help people take action in their community and clean up.

**Health Care Plan** **
 * The Promise Party wants to pass a universal health care plan.**
 * Nearly 1/3 of all practicing physicians may leave the medical profession if the government signs current versions of the health care reform legislative into law.**
 * Many doctors find their situations difficult, 36% said they would not recommend a medical profession to others regardless if the health care reform passes.**
 * 27% would recommend Medicare as a career but not if the reform proposal passes.
